Deodorant

I tend to wear natural materials anyway, can't stand the feel of most synthetics, it certainly makes sense though!! I've spent so much trying things out only to end up binning them after a while as neither dh or I will use them if they don't work. I'm sticking with my tried and tested now although means I need to go get some soon and it's a few miles away

i have tried everything .. liked dr hauschka but it's expensive and then they stopped selling it in the shop i went to ..

then i discovered aromacreme at lush, had tried all their other ones and not been impressed but this stuff is ACE! just given tory a sample so you can ask her in a few weeks if she agrees ..

it's relatively cheap as lasts for ages and doesn't have lots of packaging .. my one gripe is that the little plastic pot it comes in tends to split and the stuff dries out so have washed out an old neal's yard jar and put half in that and half in the fridge for later .. i put some in an old lip salve jar for travelling too as you only need a fingertip full each day ..

i can sometimes go 2 days without putting deo on now as it's so antibacterial it starts clearing the residues from yr clothes and it smells lovely, ylang ylang and patchouli oil ..

here a link to the lush description http://www.lush.co.uk/products/Aromacreme_2171.aspx

but also beware .. be careful after shaving .. it stings!

I couldn't possibly use that, ylang ylang gives me vile headaches

ive hardly ever used deoderant, just could never be bothered and ive never noticed that im smelly lol!

i have one of those salt rock things i got in a health food shop, and use that when i remember.

also made a powder deoderant out of equal parts soda bicarb and cornflour, and few drops of lavender or tea tree oil. shake that in a jar and sprinkle or pat of with a cloth. again, not AP but it does enough for me! xx
